Default My winter project - An underground pub

Well......underground in my basement. LOL.








I'm still working on it, but it's getting closer. I picked up a HPLV sprayer to learn how to use one and to paint the outside walls.

I'm ready for you Dawg!

I put in a hidden liquor cabinet behind the big picture. The only problem is that I only have blended scotch. I've got to pick up some single malt.

Thanks Frank & Justin!

My first attempt at using the HPLV sprayer was not so great. Not much was coming out of the nozzle and I think the latex primer is too thick.

I'm going to try cutting it with 10% Floetrol.

Very nice Dave. I'm a hack woodworker lol, you do some nice detail work. A few years ago I bought one of those Rockler HVLP units, used it once building some bookshelves. I used water based clear polyurethane, the finish was ok, but nothing like clear lacquer which is what my father always used. I'm sure if I kept at it I'd figure out how to get a better finish but I gave up.

But I like your pub theme, especially the jukeboxes and the booth. Having been in the toy/game biz all my life my basement is populated with a couple of commercial video games, a Williams pinball, a pool table, and a 45 juke box but it's not pretty lol. It's the kind where you don't see much of the mechanism, but it works. My kids and now my grandkids have a ball down there.

Anyway... that setup of yours looks incredible. Beautiful job.

I can't take credit for the facade woodwork. There is a local woodworker who did that for me and he does beautiful work. I did the trimwork, but I usually learn by trial and error. Lots of errors. LOL. When I was doing the wallpapering, the wallpaper kept falling over and I ended up getting more glue on my head than on the wall.

I keep picking up jukeboxes and I have six of them. The Seeburg 220 45 jukebox in the picture I got when a family friend passed away. Based on the quarters that were in it, it probably did not run for 20 years. It's fun for me to fix them up.

Thanks for the compliments on the pub. At first, I was thinking of making a 50's diner since that would fit the jukeboxes better, but most 50's diner pictures look like they have a lot of plastic and coca-cola type red and white colors. They are pretty cool, but not a place I want to hang out in at night when my wife and kid are hogging the TV's and I want to relax.

What do you have for commercial video games? Are they full size arcade games?

For your 45 jukebox, who made it? Got any pictures? All jukeboxes are awesome.

The jukebox is a Rowe AMI, the type where all the selections are on cards on an angled glass covered front. Probably circa '60's lotta chrome lol. One video game is called "Cabal" I'll have to check the mfg, I think it's Taito or FabTek. it's a full size standup for two players, the other is an Atari Race-Driving, it's a sit down model with steering and foot pedals. The graphics on these two are circa 1990's so nothing like today's stuff but the kids still love them. The pinball is my pride and joy, it's a Williams Black Knight, which was the first two-level game with speech. I used to go to the coin op shows in Chicago, New Orleans, and Vegas every year when I worked for Milton Bradley/Hasbro. I have the pinball serviced every couple of years, its old school, not really solid state lol. I get a chance I'll take some pix.

My 1st guess on the jukebox is that it's a JBM Tropicana.


2nd guess, it's a JAL-JEL.


The Black Knight is a real cool pinball machine. I remember playing it when I was in High School.

Who services your pinball game? I have a newer pinball.....Transformers.
